Here’s the challenge: Share a memory you have that links a person and a song in your mind, preferably: way in the past having to do with someone you LIKED, like that For example: Here’s a memory I have of the first boy I ever kissed, at age 13, in the summer of 1991. We…

Thank Goodness for the Wisdom that Comes with Age
Here’s what passes for adult conversation in the baby house: Sean (pretending to be offended by a good-natured jibe from Auntie Em during our first full game of Settlers since E’s birth): “Shut your pie-hole!” Em (with faux naïveté): “Ooh, there’s pie?” Sean (with the subtlest hint of dejection): “Yeah, but it’s in a hole.”
Getting Out Of The House, or Why I Love My Phone
Yesterday I had an appointment with a specialist to see about the weird shape my left middle finger has taken on. It meant I was out of the house for a couple hours, which is always rather exciting! My iPhone saved my heinie. My doctor’s administrative assistant had said the specialist was in Kitchener, 135…
Top Tens by Dilovely and Son
Top Ten Things Dilovely is stoked about this week (in random order): E in overalls. I mean, seriously, can he get any cuter? Guelph’s Rainbow Chorus 15th anniversary concert last night. Pretty songs, solid harmonies, vibrant colours, happy (gay, lesbian, bi, trans, and friends) people, community spirit out the wazoo. Plus snacks. Did you know…
Random (some important, some not) Items

A Nice Day
It’s been a really nice day. It was mild and kinda sunny, with a balmy breeze. I would not have approved of this twenty years ago, because I would have been clamouring for snow, but right now I’m okay with it. My hubby had a day off, so we had croissants for breakfast and played…
Actually, it's November 8th. Today.
I don’t know why, but my blog records all my posts as a day later than they actually are. Like somehow I can see into the future? Write the future? (“It’s like I have ESPN or something!”) So today is November 8th, and my little baby (“E”) is five months old. Already! And he truly…
Hee hee…
Secret’s out! That is to say, my lovely blogtacular sister knows I have a blog, because I commented on her blog while (b)logged in as my blogself. And then she wrote about it on Facebook, so who knows who will know next?? Funny, because I was already thinking about writing today about how I’m not…
A few of today's thoughts
It occurs to me that I might seem conceited to choose the user name dilovely. I wanted to emphasize the love part, since I’m very aware of love, and like to make sure people hear about it when I love them. Okay? Wait, why do I care if the ether thinks I’m conceited? Shoot, I…
